YFA Summer Camp
YFA Summer Camp
Monday 10th - Saturday 22nd August 2015
10-13, 14-17
£1990 (5% group and early bird booking discounts available)
Heathfield School, London Road, Ascot, SL5 8BQ
Discover other filmmaking courses:
Open for applications from January 6th 2014
Forget sun, sea and sand this summer - think filmmaking, friends and fun!
For an unforgettable two weeks in August 2015, Young Film Academy will be turning a beautiful boarding school in the English countryside (one hour from London) into a state-of-the-art film studio for young filmmakers ages 10-13, 14-17.
Yep, that's 2 whole weeks of non-stop filmmaking fun dedicated to living, eating, sleeping and breathing movies! Students will meet like-minded young filmmakers who are as crazy about movies as they are, and will fully immerse themselves in the art and magic of movie making.
Camp Overview
Students who apply for YFA Summer Camp will have the opportunity to run their own film sets, learning from professional YFA filmmakers in all aspects of filmmaking, from story development, shooting and production, right through to the all-important editing and post-production in iMovie and Final Cut Pro.
Students will work in teams to make showcase films which can be used to kick-start further filmmaking or add to their CV/portfolio for careers development. (Note: YFA Summer Camp is a great stepping stone for students aged 16-17 who are looking to build their CV/portfolio and would like to apply for YFA's government-subsidised BFI Academy starting in October 2015.)
YFA Summer Camp culminates in a World Premiere Showcase Screening of all completed movies for friends and family on the final day of the course - on the big screen! There'll be a packed house, behind-the-scenes special features telling the real story of how that movie got made(!), and we're guessing some blooper reels too...
Drawing inspiration from the success of Young Film Academy's BFI Film Academy, Summer Camp students will get the inside track to how the film industry really works, receiving in-depth masterclasses from representatives of some of the UK's most prestigious film production, marketing and distribution companies. There'll even be masterclasses on make-up special FX and film marketing using free social media tools to spread the word about your movie...
Students will have a chance to try different roles behind and in front of camera, mastering intermediate and advanced filmmaking techniques. Students will have access to professional grip equipment including jib arm, sliders, dolly and tracks and a fully lit green screen studio, as well as databases of Hollywood post-production sound and visual FX. Careers development advice surgeries will be available, offering practical next steps to aspiring young filmmakers looking to break in to the world of film and TV. Summer Camp students will work towards an Arts Award qualification, documenting their journey into filmmaking with a blog, which can be shared with friends and family to see the amazing things they're up to!
YFA Summer Camp will be challenging and demands full commitment from students, often under time pressure. But there'll be plenty of time to relax too - making new friends, learning new skills and creating unforgettable memories.
Pastoral Care and Activities
First class pastoral care is a top priority on YFA Summer Camp. The safety, care and well-being of students are our prime concern at all times, and YFA Summer Camp boasts a high staff-student ratio. When students aren't on set, there'll be oodles of optional great fun indoor and outdoor activities on offer for them to enjoy, including: swimming, squash, tennis, table tennis, gym, woodland walks, basketball, dance, drama, film screenings, quizzes, excursions, competitions, games and more...
Students will be assigned to different Houses, with groups designed to allow different ages to meet, mix and make friends. Houses compete against each other in a variety of fun evening activities including quizzes, competitions and optional sports tournaments.
As well as welcoming British students who live abroad, we accept a number of overseas students at Summer Camp. If overseas students are not native English speakers, they need to be functionally fluent (note: extra English language lessons can be arranged for overseas students - please enquire).
Accommodation and facilities
Heathfield School (London Road, Ascot, SL5 8BQ) is set in 36 acres of magnificent grounds, and is conveniently situated in Ascot, providing easy access to London, major airports, and the M3 and M4 motorways.
Each Summer Camp student will be allocated their own bedsit, with desk and basin included. Separate common rooms and areas for relaxing are provided. The school's extensive grounds and facilities include: a large heated indoor swimming pool; performing arts centre; a fully-equipped sports hall with squash, badminton and basketball courts; dance studio; tennis courts, gym, sports fields and a woodland walk. Wi-fi and internet access are available.
What does YFA Summer Camp include?
Application and Rates
Note: Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Previous experience is welcomed, but not essential.

Yoh-Gurt Froz
Hi everyone! I will be posting photos from the Super Sale bazaar soon. I've just got a lot of entries in the pipeline so I want to post them first. :)
Yogurt's been in the market for quite some time now and I never really liked it except for BTIC (Better Than Ice Cream). I remember when I used to force myself to eat cup of yogurt because it was part of my diet. And I felt sick everytime! I just don't like the taste. I don't like the sour yogurty taste.
When my family and I met up last November 1, my aunts encouraged me to try their favorite snack. I was hesitant, of course, but tried a spoonful.
At first, it was weird. It tasted sour, but it wasn't as bad. When I tried it again, it tasted like cheesecake. So I bought one for myself. I asked my aunts which toppings would be best, since I didn't want to taste the yogurt itself. Haha! They told me to try walnut, graham and some butterscotch. So that's what I ordered.
And that was how this addiction started. I have gone to Hobbes & Landes for Yoh-Gurt Froz for about three times since then. It's not available anywhere else so that's a little inconvenient.
I haven't tried other brands yet. I was able to taste White Hat once when Mari bought a plain yogurt. But I didn't like it. It tasted too yogurty for me. Haha! Yoh-Gurt Froz' even though it doesn't taste as good as ice cream, tasted like cheesecake, that's how I would describe it.
Plus while enjoying my favorite Yoh-Gurt Froz, H is able to play with his childhood favorite toy- LEGO.
Yup, my husband is talented like that. :p

Hopefully, some of our other branches are more convenient for you :)Keep doing your health a flavor!
Btw, we'll be linking your post on our FB page (http://www.facebook.com/iloveyohgurtfroz), so check it out! :)
Oh I didn't know you had other branches. That's good to hear! :) Oh thanks!

TEFF Lexicon – The World's Most Expensive Typeface:
How Much Should a Typeface Cost? The easy answer is a typeface should cost however much someone is willing to pay for it. The value the customer gets from it should determine the price. However, pricing can be much more complicated than that.
A good discussion on pricing typefaces. Pricing is sometimes one of the most difficult parts of releasing a product. Too low and your product appears cheap. Too high and no one will buy it… Then you go broke.

Driving in Kruger one day, gamespotting, the surrounding area was much savannah like.
A flicker of movement caught my eye and there was a gentle swaying swift movement above the tips of the grass stalks. Maybe 3 to 4ft high so to speak. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where because of education or experience we are somewhat unsure of ourselves yet that day I knew that was a black mamba. It was fast and with intent. This thread is about BM's and not GM's. If my memory serves me well the game wardens had a problem with the motorized mode of transport in the park. ie; scrambler motorcycles. One reason being snakebite. I stand under correction here. Jumbo quite correct. A bite from one of those in a faraway place means trouble for the victim with reference snakebite in Pafuri. We always talk about Big 5 and somehow BM fits in there somewhere. believe me. |

Taken from the News24 website.
This article shows that BM's should be avoided at all costs. How did it know to attack the driver and not the tractor? Quote Durban - A KwaZulu-Natal farm worker's thick jacket saved his life after a black mamba struck him three times on the shoulder, paramedics said on Friday. "The snake's fangs were unable to penetrate his overall jacket. The bite marks from where the snake struck were visible on the jacket," said Netcare 911 spokesperson Jeff Wicks. "The snake is thought to have reared up and struck the man three times on the shoulder." Reared up The farm worker was driving a tractor in Richmond near Pietermaritzburg when he ran over the black mamba. It is believed that the black mamba then reared up and tried to bite the worker. "Paramedics received the call and rushed to the scene. The man was assessed and found to be in good health. "As a precautionary measure the man was transported to hospital for observation," said Wicks. - SAPA |

My guess would be somewhere between 1.7 and 2.2m fpr the one Fooble posted, and I reckon about 2.5 for the one in the original post. Definitely not a 4m monster!
I spoke to a friend who works at the snake park in Hoedspruit, and they haven't found a mamba of over 3m in the past 2 years, so even though they may become a bit bigger in the park, I doubt there are many 4m mambas around anymore. |

This snake was only 2560mm that's 2.56m see most of you think you see 3/4 metre mamba's
Scipio wrote I'd say, 2,9 to 3 meters. Fooble, 4 meters, not so far fetched, have a look at the early pages. I was not doubting there are 4metre mamba's but most people grossly overestimate the length of snakes in general, just today i removed a "1metre" "green mamba" from someone's kitchen, it was in fact a 45cm Spotted bush snake! fact is a 4+m black mamba is a special sighting, they 1.5- 3 are the most commonly encountered IMO. I have never seen a wild 4m black mamba. |

Yes,I am alive to tell the story.
On 28 May 2011 at about 11 am I was traveling on Sweni road towards Muzandzeni picnic spot at about 30 km/h with the windows of my Corolla wide open. What I am going to tell you happened in a split of a second. Sorry, no time for photos or videos. At that moment it appeared like somebody threw a stick at me. I made a reflex movement with my upper body to the left and that probably saved my life. For a brief moment I looked death in the eyes. A huge black mamba struck at me and missed me by cms. When I came upright again I could see the mamba in the rear view mirror with it's head standing about 4 feet high above the road. It was moving towards the opposite side of the road. In my state of shock my brains told me that I have been bitten by the mamba; but on close inspection by my SO everything was ok. The picnic was postponed to later that day. For me it was a wonderful experience. So my friends,when driving on those narrow bushy roads.....close them windows |

That memory definetely will stay with you forever but I think it's a very untypical behaviour for a mamba and the chances to get charged by a snake in a camp/picnic spot or bird hide are much higher than being charged while you sit in a car with open windows! I close the windows near baboons and during heavy rain otherwise they have to be open

Wildtom what an experience you have had. It is amazing how the mamba knew where to strike towards what he/she perceived being a danger or threat or maybe it was just reflex? I am glad you are OK but it is still very scary indeed.

A string of countries on and around the fringes of western Europe are becoming new centres of fashion clothing manufacture as China moves up the industrial value chain and brands discover suppliers closer to home.
Sourcing from China is getting more expensive, but it is still cheap, so a decision to go for Made in Morocco or Made in Moldova instead is not all about price.
This is an industry where fickle consumer behaviour is the main driver of demand. Players have to be nimble to survive against heavyweights like Inditex Group's Zara brand, which can have a catwalk dress look-alike in its stores within weeks, and which already counts 60 per cent of its offering as "close or nearby production." Inditex, one of the world's largest fashion retailers, owns more than 100 companies operating in 82 countries.
Lingerie manufacturer La Perla is one of the companies making a switch away from production in China. "Of course it is more expensive for us to make things in Turkey and Tunisia than in China, but it is not that much more expensive considering how much salaries (in China) have increased, and it is much more convenient for us because it is closer, so we have more control over quality," La Perla designer Giovanni Bianchi told Reuters.
The maker of fine lace underwear moved production of its mass-market Studio La Perla label to Turkey and Tunisia from China late last year, and has also moved sourcing of its nightwear from China to Portugal.
It estimates that for every €10 ($13) it spends in China on labour, for the same work, it pays €15 to €16 in Tunisia or Turkey – so China remains cheapest by its calculations.
But that is changing.
China's national wage index has been rising on average by 15 per cent every year in the past five years. Institut Francais de la Mode, France's fashion trade group, estimates monthly pay in China's coastal areas soared to €400 in 2011 from €240 in 2005. That compares with current pay rates of €160 in Tunisia, €152 in Morocco, and €200 in Moldova.
And tougher manufacturing terms demanded by Chinese factories have also given fashion companies second thoughts about working with them.
French fashion houses Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Barbara Bui, and ready-to-wear group Etam, have also recently moved part of their production closer to home.
They say Chinese manufacturers put increasing pressure on them to place orders larger than they want to commit to, risking unsold stock and resulting discounts that could harm brand image.
"The price-quality ratio we got in China was no longer what we wanted," said Celine Lopes, who oversees production at Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and recently moved production to Hungary.
Barbara Bui moved output to Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey in 2010. "The distance and language barrier in China made it difficult for us to always control quality," said deputy chief executive Jean-Michel Lagarde.
"We can more easily impose our way of doing things when we work with manufacturers in southern and eastern Europe."
Etam has 20,000 employees in China, but last month it announced a move for some of its production to Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal, Greece and Turkey.
"This is to increase our reactivity and gets things to market faster," said managing director Laurent Milchior.
Anne-Laure Linget, a spokeswoman for the trade body that represents French lingerie and knitwear, said Chinese manufacturers have become tougher on payment, schedules and volumes since the closure of plants in the downturn of 2008-2009 gave those that remained a stronger bargaining hand and allowed them to pick and choose their customers.
"Chinese companies prefer (lingerie) orders coming from the U.S. because they are less complicated than European ones as U.S. brands use more basic designs and need bigger volumes than European brands," Ms. Linget said. "So Chinese manufacturers have become less keen to work with Europeans and have tightened their terms."
The shift is also to some extent a byproduct of a deliberate and centralized Chinese government policy. Asia's No. 1 economy wants to keep moving up the value chain into manufacturing that require skills and technologies.
"In the latest five-year plan, Beijing aims to retain only those high value-added manufacturing industries and that brings up cost as a whole," said Paul Tang, chief economist at Bank of East Asia.
Asia remains the European branded fashion industry's manufacturing powerhouse, representing 75 per cent of sourcing in 2012, according to a study by the Institut Francais de la Mode.
And between January and September last year, the value of orders from China rose 8 per cent from a year earlier to €23-billion, the study said, still dwarfing even the bigger players among the new breed closer to home, such as Morocco, where orders grew 10 per cent to €1.7-billion.
But the study noted that French fashion and lingerie brands had developed a strong interest in working with Bulgarian manufacturers, and that more than a quarter of all French lingerie is now made in Tunisia and Morocco.
It also highlighted Ukraine as a hot spot, with big brands including Hugo Boss, Quiksilver and FCUK while in Romania, they included Harrod's, Zara and C&A. In Belarus, big clients were Calvin Klein, DKNY and Next while in Moldova they were Dolce & Gabbana, Guess and Armani and Cavalli.
Crouched over their sewing machines in a brightly-lit factory in eastern Tunisia sit dozens of women in blue uniforms, carefully stitching bras and lingerie that might have been made by workers in China but for this trend.
The factory, in a industrial zone near the city of Sfax, employs 700 workers and makes lingerie and swimwear for La Perla and other brands.
At other tables, factory workers check finished bras in white and cream lace for defects before sorting them into yellow and grey crates for packaging. The clatter of sewing machines bounces off the white walls.
Manager Michel Demurs worries about the cost of raw material and the impact of last year's Arab Spring, which he says has discouraged some clients, but if the trend he is part of continues, these may prove to be minor concerns, and it may not just be clothing manufacture coming his way.
Stanley Lau, deputy chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, which represents around 3,000 industrialists running factories in China, estimates that production costs in China have gone up 20 to 30 per cent over the past two years.
He says the country remains very strong in basic manufacturing with formidable supply chains and industrial clusters in regions like the Pearl River Delta, but competition is warming up.
"Foreign investors are already not treating China as the only choice, they make other considerations. In the past they would only think about China as a place to set up a factory, but now there are four or five choices for them … They will consider other factors like proximity to market, labour, the supply chain, in making such decisions."
So how far west might the factories move?
"We've seen some enterprises set up factories in Detroit," says Mr. Lau. "You can see that this has become a trend."

Oh yeah, two plants have passed....R.I.P. My variegated schefflera and....some really long name I don't feel like looking up....(my head hurts from research still....)...but it was kind of like jasmine/gardenia....but in it's own genus. Both had what I believe were scale and I did not want to take ANY chances. I kept a pup from the jasmine/gardenia like thing, took all leaves off and is in isolation. I believe it came from my orchid cactus, and crown of thorns (which are also pitched). They both came from same greenhouse and i'm not buying from there again.... Saw a massive amount of bugs on a few leaves of my other schefflera (not scale)....I hysterically hacked away what seemed to be infested and is now being isolated.... Anything new from anyone else? Hope all of your plants forever prosper :) Happy thanksgiving (in case i'm not on to say so during thanksgiving...) |

Agreed, nice looking plants! What's in the purple bottle/can? I've succumbed to a few new succulents too, put this planter together with some of them yesterday. What are your plans for the Tillandsia? The tall pink/purple is Peperomia clusifolia, little one in the middle is Kalandchoe fedtschenkoi, the fuzzy, darker ones on each side are Kalanchoe beharensis 'Fang,' in the front is Crassula falcata. |
Thanks Christine :) Hey purp, I think I've been bit by a succulent bug, as I am finding myself glaring at them awkwardly in stores....more often than usual.lol...almost drooled over some portulacaria (is that a succulent?) Not really sure how i'm going to set up the tillandsia. So far all of them are just sitting in random spots. I'm thinking about hanging them from wire for optimal air flow. Maybe i'll chain them all together and hang near the side of a window for vertical interest? |
I wanted to say I Love, Love that Orchid. It is really pretty. I've never seen one of those before. And Im not an orchid person. But I too loved those leaves... TFS! |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Sun, Nov 24, 13 at 9:13
TY, Auron. Succulents, for some reason, never appealed to me until recently. I guess I never realized how they can turn pretty colors in the sun and make weird little flowers. When you see the plain green ones at the store & look up their names, you won't believe what they *could* look like. "portulacaria (is that a succulent?)" Yes. Elephant bush? Do you have a bigger plant to 'host' your Tilly? Mine is just sitting in the crook of this tree. Sounds like you have several? |
Teisa, Thanks :), I'm still a bit giddy looking at it.lol Purp, your tillandsia look awesome nestled in that tree. |
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Mon, Nov 25, 13 at 11:36
LOL! I'm just here to enable as I've been enabled. Just another junkie sharing a fix. Scheff does have a thicker canopy, sounds like you do need a Drac, spiky, or maybe a corn plant with a nice 'shelf' where the cane was originally cut & waxed over. Looking around at other plants one could sit a Till on... some of these Thanksgiving cacti are shaped to hold one well. Drac 'Lemon Lime' has stiffly upright leaves in which one could sit a Till. It would be easy to tuck one into the vines of heart-leaf Philo going up a trellis, but couldn't stay in the same spot long without being engulfed by the Philo. It would be transient, occasinally leaping from vine to vine like Tarzan. It could recline in a Cordyline fruticosa (Ti plant.) Mingle in a Monstera (which I don't have but can picture in my mind.) Placed in a palm? Just depends on the view through your eyes... If you think there's aphids, you can rinse them off. That's the usual recommendation for a case of aphids on a house plant that one can do that to. (Gently wiping them off, and/or snipping affected growth tips could also help, depending on the anatomy/size of the plant.) I'd use air-temp water. Of all plants, I think it would be easiest to get them off of a Till since you can turn it in any direction while rinsing. Aphids move if prodded, and are easily smushed, come in many colors, almost always seen on new growth point(s) and/or flowers/buds. Happy hunting for a "host!" |

My Brugs are growing fine however, when it starts to put on a blossom the blossom starts to grow then turns yellow and falls off. What is causing that? Can it be Temp. related? Its been cooler than normal in TX, we get bouts of low temps in the 40's & 50's at night once in awhile? I fertilize it weekly and keep it watered regulary. |

Sometimes a change in temperature or location or humidity can cause the flower buds to die. |

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Beauty term of the day: the Marcel wave. Similar in appearance to the finger waves taking the red carpet by storm, a Marcel wave was invented by hairstylist Marcel Grateau in the 1870s by using curling tongs to speed up the setting process; a technique Amy Adams took into 2013 with her updo at the Golden Globes. Her Laini Reeves took inspiration from Old Hollywood and the 1920s Art Deco movement to give the classic look a new spin. She started by brushing hair into a side-part, and while rough-drying, Reeves placed a clip in the spot where she wanted the wave to begin. A mist of Moroccanoil's Glimmer Shine Spray ($28; moroccanoil.com for locations) added dimension, then Reeves used a large crimping iron to form the wave, working in two-inch vertical sections that began at the corner of the eyebrow. "After making a ponytail with a hair band, I twisted around my fingers and rolled the style into a little bun, supported with gold bobby pins," she said. "Once the bun was made, I could decide how loose or messy to make it. I decided to keep it airy for a textured, modern look." A final spritz of Moroccanoil's Luminous Hairspray Medium ($23; moroccanoil.com for locations) added the finishing touch. Try on Amy Adams' many hairstyles here! On your phone or iPad?

Bryant Boats debuts 21-footer
Posted onBryant Boats is launching the Speranza, its third new model in less than a year.
The Peter Granata-designed 21-foot Speranza will include stainless fixtures and a vinyl-wrapped dash and will retail for $39,995.
"New product continues to be a large focus for the future of Bryant Boats," Bryant CEO John Dorton said in a statement.
"We have gotten very efficient in developing new boat models, but the most exciting part is seeing retail customers coming into our partner dealerships asking for new product that has only been out for weeks," brand manager Ben Dorton said.
The Tennessee-based builder says it is enjoying double-digit market-share increases in "the tough sterndrive segment both" as a result of increasing its distribution channel and launching new products and innovations.
"We have added over 30 new dealers in the last 18 months. In addition, we introduced the Calandra this fall, which has triggered immediate retail pull-through in dealerships at the shows and spring events," said Jeff White, vice president of sales.
The Speranza will be delivered to dealerships starting May 23.

Walking into the weight room at The Capital Athletic Club, visitors may think they've stepped into a European cathedral. Vaulted wood ceilings soar above resistance machines and free weights, immersing exercisers in a light, airy atmosphere and allowing trainers to participate in the annual Bring Your Giraffe to Work day. Dozens of classes cater to group fitness in four wood-floored studios and a heated, outdoor pool ensures comfortable laps regardless of outside temperature. Enthusiastic, highly qualified personal trainers collaborate with members, helping craft new programs for beginners or enlivening veterans' tired routines.
The club's amenities mirror its luxurious appointments, with each full member receiving a permanent locker for stashing clothes and parking meters you tore out of the ground with your bare hands. The staff launders workout clothes overnight, freeing up members' time for relaxing in the expansive saunas and steam rooms. WiFi facilitates impromptu business meetings and spa services offer relaxing treatments.
Each summer, Sacramento becomes home to a giant dragon, slumbering deep in its lair. Anyone who steps inside vanishes from sight, and plummets through five stories of total darkness before reaching the mist-filled depths of a splash pool.
That wet, wild warren?known as the Den of the Dragon?is just one of more than 25 water attractions that sprawl across Raging Waters' grounds. The best way to survey all the options: drop a tube into Calypso Cooler, a lazy river that winds around the park's center in an 800-foot loop. From here, families can scope the landscape and plan out an exciting itinerary. For example:
Some additional tips for first-time visitors: come before 1 p.m. for shorter lines; be sure to stop for a burger and fries at Coral Cove; and play a couple of games at the on-site volleyball court.

Hubbly Bubbly
Contributed by Ron Boucher, creative director at Orlando-based Push.
Mark Unger, one of the Push partners, is also co-owner and chief executive officer of Hubbly Bubbly, a falafel eatery in the Orlando neighborhood of College Park. We get about 40 percent of our business from restaurant clients, so we envision the restaurant, which opened in 2013, as a laboratory of sorts that will help us to better understand how clients operate.
"Just like you have a test kitchen, we wanted a test restaurant. We want to be experts in the space, and this gets us as close to the customer as we'll ever get."
Opening a restaurant that brings Middle Eastern food to the masses was a dream of Mark's father-in-law, George, originally from Nazareth, who opened Hubbly Bubbly with Mark.
The restaurant is named after the slang for hookah (water pipes used to smoke flavoured tobacco), and the cartoon character (illustrated by Justin Harder) is modelled after co-owner and main falafel man George.
Located in the old Blackwater Bar-B-Q on Edgewater Drive, Hubbly Bubbly is a fast-casual restaurant, where customers watch workers in an assembly-line style behind the counter.
Diners choose from several types of protein, which can come in a pocket sandwich, salad bowl or hummus bowl. It's similar in concept to Italio, a small Italian chain that we helped with its branding.
Hubbly Bubbly customers can place orders from digital menu screens, or can order ahead online.
Technologies that we have been watching in the restaurant include Square, a system that accepts credit cards on iPads, iPhones and Android devices; ChowNow, an electronic ordering system; and a pay-with-your-phone program called LevelUp.
Mark has also been testing Facebook marketing that finds potential customers based on people who have "liked" nearby businesses.
Running the restaurant has made our team think differently about suggestions we make to clients, thinking more about cost efficiency instead of jumping on the coolest, most creative new thing.
Brandon Manly, chief operating officer of our client Sonny's BBQ, said that although he hasn't yet adopted any ideas from Hubbly Bubbly, he likes working with a marketing firm that can speak his language.
"It really has helped them have a better understanding of what we do every day."

7 appreciated remarks about "Hubbly Bubbly"
I like the idea of a 'testing ground' for branding ideas. Helms workshop also runs 'Frank' restaurant in Austin. Similar idea, I guess. The vintage-style sign is just classic, too. Who made it?
LOVE this, executed so well.
Fun and energetic – it will most likely resonate well with the target audience.
Absolutely love the style — especially the silly little falafel poems.
Someone please explain the speech bubble to me. All in all it is definitely well executed, I just don't see the connection between hookah-falafel-diner-speech bubble. Is having the word "bubble" in the brand name a good enough excuse to have the extremely over used comic bubble in the mark? I think not.
Love the signage and design. Having a place to test ideas is a great concept makes me wonder how many other restaurants have the same thing.
Awesome work once again from the Push crew. Covered this a few days ago at http://www.gritsandgrids.com

The level's first mask is on the rotating tower just east of the circus area.
This one is on the roof of the tavern in the northern part of the village.
You'll need Sir Galleth for this one. In the northern part of the town is tall building only he can scale using his Catapult Crash technique. This building - directly northeast of the clock tower - has a mask on its roof.
You'll need Sir Galleth for this one too. In the southeast corner of the map is a tower only he can ascend (it's climbed during the "Eye in the Sky" mission). About midway up, there's a plank on the tower's eastern side that holds a mask.
You'll need - you guessed it - Sir Galleth to reach this mask. At the southernmost point of the map is a tower only he can scale (it's also climbed during the "Eye in the Sky" mission). At the top, you'll spot the mask behind some breakable boxes.
This is found during "Juggling Act." Proceed until you pass the first trio of trumpet frogs. After firing the next rope arrow, smash the red box on the platform to reveal a secret stash of arrows. Fire one of these at the platform across the gap to smash the barrel and reveal a target; fire a second to create a way over. Cross to the platform to snag the mask.
Just after the set of four trumpet frogs is a rope. Climb past the first platform to find a second, higher platform where a mask is hiding.
This mask is found during the mission "Mechanical Menace," which means you'll need Sir Galleth yet again. Proceed until you reach the tower inside the cave, and turn right. Below is a very well hidden mask on a ledge.
This one is for Bentley. Proceed through the mission "Shell-Shocked Heart" until you reach the rafters in the blacksmith's shop. Just after the first set of lasers in the first room, this breakable wall be to your left. Clear it with a bomb to grab the mask beyond.
Continue the mission until you hack the second door. In the room beyond are some spinning gears. Hop across them, and toss a bomb onto the crate on the nearby platform. The explosion will destroy the crate and reveal a mask.
Once you've recovered every treasure in the level, the arcade machine in the hideout will be repaired. Boot it up to play Super Alter Ego. Near the start of the second zone is an optional portal on the lower half of the screen. Enter it to find the level's mask at the end of this optional zone.
Note: For more detail on collecting the treasures required of this mask, see our Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time treasure locations guide.

I'm a newbie to herbs, just started last year. Well, my lavender edge in front of a low stone wall seems happy, but too tall! I need to move them to the other side of the wall. They'll still get full sun, excellent drainage and fairly lean soil. The question is: Can I move them? When? How? I don't want to lose them. I have about 20-25 Munsteads, would a late summer move be best? If I can't move them at all, can I take cuttings to root now and put them out in the garden in early Sept?? They are blooming like crazy and need a trim...any thoughts about that? I hope these questions aren't too stupid, but I want to do the right thing. Thanks!! |

I had to move some L. munstead too this year and I did that in March before new growth began. I would either move yours in mid fall with plenty of time before first hard frost when the weather is not so hot or next early spring. Vera |
Thanks Vera. I was worried about the timing of the move and if they had deep roots that would not survive the move. I also need to know if I can prune them back hard. Because of the wall they're near one side of each plant is sort of flat and bald on the wall side. All sides will be exposed in their new location. What to do...What to do? |

take some cuttings. even if your moving them take cuttings, its always good to take cuttings. but seriously, if you plan to move them take some cuttings, and remember to reomve any flowers or flower buds on the cuttinng as flowers reduce the production of foliageroots etc. that way if you move them and some die you have some small plants from the cuttings to take their places. as lavender is mint family but with woody stems it will take to cuttings well as far as i know |

With lavender i would always use rooting powder. It does not root like mint. Moving lavender is very hard. Make sure it is not in bloom cut the plant back and dont disturb the roots. TAKE EVERYTING! If you want to transplant and move it via car, clippings would be your best bet. You also get a new plant when you clip. Lavender only lives so long. Or just go out and buy new lavender (if you dont want to do clippings) |

Thanks for asking this question, Pearly, as I have been pondering the same thing. I planted some lavender too close together (Grosso, of all things, huge) and I'd like to move a few plants. I think fall would be best, when the weather cools down. I agree with Dr. Sassafras in that established lavender does NOT like to be moved. I gingerly transplanted some Goodwin Creek Grey and lost them. I think once the roots are established, lavender likes to stay where it's at. I've had great success rooting lavender from cuttings in small, clear glass "rooting" vases and plain water. Old clear salt shakers work well too. Take a cutting approx. 4-6 inches long, preferably after the plant is done flowering. Remove any leaves that would be below the water line (they will rot),add water and put the container indoors in a bright place near a window, but out of direct sunlight. You will see new roots appear in about 2 weeks. When the plant is about as large as the ones they sell at the garden center in the spring, plant it outside. Good luck! |
Yes, take cuttings! :o) I have had nice results from taking cuttings, dipping them in rooting hormone and keeping them in perlite which holds just enough water, nicely.... then I have an empty fishtank that I have a wee bit water on the bottom and covered for humidity.... works great. And if more than one strikes, well, you can't have too much lavender! :o) |
DrSassafras How do you use rooting powder with a large transplant. I have some, the small powdered bottle (indole butyric acid). I did large transplants today (no choice since I had to fix a sprinkler line break) and I thought of doing this but I had no idea how. I've only used rooting powder to dip a cutting in. Do you sprinkle it in the hole? If so how much? Can you water it in, what conc.? Thanks |

Naomi Yotsumoto didn't belong with the world's elite ping pong players, but she created huge buzz with her cosplay inspired wardrobe at the Beijing Olympics. Thank goodness there is no dress code in ping pong.
Most players decide to dress like jocks with athletic wear, but Yotusumoto takes it to a new level with her outfits. As a result, she is hugely popular with her own TV show and an autobiography. From a fashion impact analogy, she is the Japanese version of Maria Sharapova!

Events and Activities
September 29-December 12, 2014
LIBRARY EXHIBIT: Before "The Search Engine": Education, Identity and Tradition
In "The Search Engine," Alexie introduces us to Corliss, a Spokane Indian and Washington State undergraduate whose passion for school and poetry bemuses her extended family—and occasionally—Corliss, herself. Native American encounters with the U.S. educational system have always been fraught with tremendous challenges to individual and collective cultural identities. For American Indians born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, on and off-reservation boarding and day schools were traumatic sites of federally and missionary funded ethnocide—or "Americanization"—where tribal languages and traditions were systematically denigrated and suppressed. Nonetheless, many American Indians not only survived these institutions, but also used them to further their own passions and ambitions—as individuals, and as members of Indigenous communities. This exhibit explores the intertwined themes of education, identity, and tradition with historical and contemporary examples drawn from the regional, state and national landscape.
Curated by Dr. Terri Castaneda, Department of Anthropology, and Dr. Brian Baker (Bad River Chippewa), Department of Ethnic Studies and Native American Studies Program.
Dates: September 29-December 12, 2014
Location: University Library Mezzanine, Second Floor

The exhibit focuses on issues of Native American identity, sovereignty and representation in museums using the Frank LaPena Papers as a vital location of knowledge from which Frank LaPena, as artist, activist, and collector, provides a locus for understanding the complexity and diversity of indigenous articulations of tradition and culture in the late twentieth century.
Curated by Valerie Garcia; assisted by Katryn Davis; and supervised by Sheila O'Neill, Director of Special Collections.
Date: Opens October 1, 2014
Time: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

We're suckers for two things on TV here at Automobile Magazine, good advertisements, and well written comedies. Today's Feature Flick is actually both of those: it's a collection of fake advertisements by the NBC comedy show "30 Rock" that spoof Chrysler's recent "Halftime in America" Super Bowl ad.
The advertisement, you might recall, was a two-minute advertisement that aired only once, during the halftime break of the 2012 Super Bowl. It featured plenty of narration by big-screen bad boy Clint Eastwood, shots of Detroit, and footage from some of Chrysler's production plants. The tagline: "it's halftime, America, and our second half is about to begin." The video has since been viewed around 11 million times on YouTube.
So when it came time for fictional boss Jack Donaghy on NBC's "30 Rock" to sell 10,000 crappy couches, he turned to actor Stacy Keach. Keach delivers one minute and 20 seconds of Clint Eastwood "Halftime in America" spoofing that might not sell any couches, but is guaranteed to make you laugh.
Chrysler hasn't responded to a request for comment, but we hope the folks in Auburn Hills are having at least a little chuckle. Imitation is, after all, the sincerest form of flattery.
Check out the video below and see for yourself.

Shots should be expanded to boys and young men.
The human papilloma virus causes deadly cancers in both men and women and infects up to 80 percent of the American population. So why is the lifesaving HPV vaccine currently targeted at just the female half of the population?
A milestone recommendation from an influential vaccine advisory panel is set to change that.
Responsible parents will act on this common-sense medical advice, not succumb to antivaccine misinformation and misguided fears that a vaccine guarding against a sexually transmitted virus will promote promiscuity.
Late last month, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that boys and young men -- who can contract the virus and spread it -- get the HPV vaccine, too.
Five years ago, the panel recommended the vaccine for girls and young women. The decision on boys was delayed to gather additional safety and cost-effectiveness data.
The panel is part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has yet to finalize the recommendation but typically does.
This imprimatur will add the HPV vaccine to the roster of routine pediatric shots, though it does not mandate it. It also sets the stage for more health insurers to pay for the three-shot series, which is important, because the cost can be $300 or more.
A generation ago, a shot that prevented cancer -- think about it -- would have been heralded as the remarkable public health advance that it is. Instead, this vaccine's arrival has been greeted with a puzzling shrug by many parents.
Nationally, about 49 percent of girls ages 13 to 17 have had at least one dose of the HPV vaccine, which is sold under the names Gardasil and Cervarix. Just 32 percent have received all three recommended doses.
Because the vaccine prevents a sexually transmitted virus, it unfortunately has been mired in politics, most recently when U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota made the baseless claim that the vaccine causes mental retardation. That's not a reported side effect, and, in fact, the vaccine has a strong safety profile.
Some religious or antivaccine websites also push another common objection to the vaccine: that kids will engage in reckless sex if they know they're protected against HPV.
But, "my perspective is that you don't drive into light poles because you have seat belts and air bags,'' said the Minnesota Department of Health's Kris Ehresmann, who sat on the vaccine advisory panel.
Lost in the unproductive HPV debate is that the virus causes about 22,000 cancer cases each year in the United States -- 7,000 of them in men and 15,000 in women. Many people are aware that HPV causes cervical cancer in women.
But too few understand that it's linked to other fearsome forms of the disease, including vaginal cancer, cancers of the head and neck, and anal and penile cancer.
Limiting the vaccine recommendations to one gender ignores men's serious HPV health risks and their responsibility to help stop its spread.
Parents have an obligation not only to vaccinate sons and daughters, but to ensure that the shots are accompanied by conversations about responsibility and family values.
The vaccine does not replace these discussions. Instead, it protects teens and young adults from paying too high a price if that parental wisdom is ignored.

Fashion Week
Style Switch Up
If you read yesterday's party post then you might have clocked a sly mention of a imminently impending feature on switching up one's style. I know loads of you guys have blogs of your own (a fair few of which I've checked out) and I don't know whether you ever find yourself planning on writing certain posts for ages and ages and somehow not getting around to doing it. Months pass and you berate yourself for not having written that piece which you just know would be killer and promise you'll do it this weekend. Then suddenly the idea for another comes along and you crack straight on with that one, all but abandoning the post that's been languishing on your to do list since last September. Well, that's the exact story with today's fash feature…

According to biblical end-times prophecies – or at least, to Darksiders' stylized version of them – there's an uneasy truce that exists between Heaven and Hell, and all that's keeping it in place are the legendary Seven Seals. When those are broken – something that's only supposed to happen once mankind has advanced far enough to survive a war between the two sides – all of creation will erupt in the Endwar, an apocalyptic battle between angels and demons to decide the fate of the cosmos. As Darksiders opens, that battle has already begun… far, far earlier than it was supposed to.
Above: Whoops
Fast-forward to a hundred years later, and it's pretty clear something went wrong. Hell won, humanity is extinct and all that's left of Earth is a blasted cinder populated by zombies, demons and a few handfuls of surviving angels. With the balance of power disrupted, blame for the catastrophe falls on the impossibly burly shoulders of War, the only one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to ride during the chaos. To clear his name, he volunteers to trudge out into the ruins of New York, find those responsible and slaughter them all.
Steal from the best
To say that Darksiders isn't the most original game is a gross understatement. While its ruined world and masterful art direction (by comic artist Joe Madureira) feel fresh, Darksiders is, by and large, an amalgamation of cool elements swiped from other games. But that's not a bad thing; from the beginning, its developers have proudly pointed out that Darksiders cherry-picks some of the best things from some of the best games around.
Above: Like this horse, for example
Most notably, it borrows a lot from the Zelda games, using the series' rich history of more-or-less open-world exploration, gadget-assisted puzzles and themed dungeons as a template for its own beautifully devastated world. Meanwhile, its fast, combo-heavy, somewhat gruesome combat – along with a few other choice elements – comes straight out of God of War and Devil May Cry.
It doesn't end there, so rather than simply bore you with a long description of the things Darksiders lifts from other games, we'll simply show you some of them:
Somewhat grating spectral "helper"
Boomerang that can target multiple enemies and also catch on fire
Awesome horse that can be summoned almost anywhere outdoors
Lifestones/Heart containers
Abyssal Chain/Hookshot
Slightly gimmicky puzzle bosses
Aerial juggle combos
Special moves you can buy
Bringing a gun to a swordfight
Multicolored, multipurpose orbs
One-button fatality prompts
Chaos/Demon Form
Linked portals (duh)
Above: Don't get too excited – you get the "Voidwalker" item very late in the game, and it only works on special surfaces. But it does enable you to create high-speed exit portals, which is kind of awesome
On-rails shooter segment
Floaty not-quite-wings
So yes, if originality is of paramount importance to you, this probably isn't your game. But more important than where those diverse elements came from is how well they mesh together, and in Darksiders, they mesh together pretty well… most of the time.

National Aviary in Pittsburgh welcomes baby penguins
Visitors can enter to win opportunity to get up-close to the babies
By: Marc Stempka
PITTSBURGH -- The National Aviary has welcomed two baby penguins, and the pair is now on display for the public to get a view.
The Aviary in Pittsburgh gave the media and the public the first chance to see the two African penguin chicks Thursday at their facility on the citys North Side.
The babies, a female, hatched on Nov. 29, and a male, hatched on Dec. 2, bring the number of African penguins in the facilitys colony to 18.
National Aviary Managing Director Cheryl Tracy said the pairs parents, Sidney and Bette, are doing well and have been wonderful at taking care of the babies.
They have been crucial to growing the African penguin population, so we're thrilled they have taken such good care of these two new chicks, Tracy said. The chicks are thriving, and we are very excited to share this journey with the public.
African penguins are endangered in the wild, and the penguins are part of an important breeding program for their species.
The two chicks will be placed in the Aviary's hospital nursery and can be seen by visitors through a window. The chicks will be hand-raised by staff before joining the rest of the colony in summer 2014 in the Penguin Point exhibit.
Visitors to the National Aviary from Dec. 26 through Jan. 3 can enter to win a baby penguin encounter and get up-close to the birds. Other additional penguin related activities will be added on select dates in January, including penguin parades, crafts, special talks and feedings, and baby penguin meet-and-greets.
